About

This report focuses on AR/VR headsets for the Consumer and Enterprise markets. Military applications are not covered in the forecasts. AR implies the ability to see the real world, whereas VR provides full immersion in a virtual environment. In this report, we make the distinction between see-through AR and video passthrough AR. Some companies currently use the term Mixed Reality (MR) to describe video passthrough AR. The report gives a complete picture of the various display technologies and associated optics for AR/VR. It profiles the key players and includes market forecasts for each display technology until 2029.
